  • Reformation Sunday

    A Sermon for Reformation Sunday - the last Sunday in October

    At St. Columba’s United Reformed Church in Oxford, where I spent many happy years, the premises are a little bit old and rambling. In a far away corner, not often visited was a hidden away toilet. This was always known as the Calvinist toilet, because it was very dark and gloomy. It’s a sure ...read more

    A sermon on the doctrine of the Trinity

    The story is told of a man feeling suicidal, who climbed from his office window onto the ledge outside. Naturally his colleagues were concerned, and one climbed out and sat next to him on the window ledge. After a few words the conversation went something like this: “I get a lot of strength from ...read more

    Mustard seed and the kingdom with practical examples

    I’ll begin by saying that our second reading is a very complicated passage indeed. Indeed, it’s so complicated and obscure that I’ve decided to say nothing about this morning, and concentrate on our gospel reading, because it would be too long and involved to try and make sense of it now. So, ...read more

  • The Significance Of Questions

    Lookign at questions in the context of Job 38, and Jesus stilling the storm in Mark 4

    One of the most unhelpful ideas about Christianity, indeed about faith in general, is that doubt is the opposite of faith. It is not. Certainty is the opposite of faith. Doubt is an intrinsic part of faith, for by definition faith is about making a commitment and a decision about matters that ...read more

  • The Armour Of Light

    Thinking more about the phrase, "the armour of light"

    There’s a proverb which says, "It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness". I want to reflect, this evening, upon a phrase of Paul’s in that reading from Romans: the armour of light. As well as our usual, longer, silence after the sermon, there will some shorter silences as part of the ...read more

    1 Corinthians 13’s message about Christian community

    In the film Four weddings and a funeral, during the first wedding, the reader begins the well-worn reading of 1 Corinthians 13, saying, "if I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal". As the reader pauses for breath, someone ...read more

    A sermon on the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (also called Candlemas)

    I wonder if you’re familiar with fresh lychees? The fresh fruit is much more pleasant than the tinned variety. They are small fruit about the size of a walnut. On the outside is rough and robust skin, which might lead you think it wasn’t worth opening, but when one peels it, inside is a soft, ...read more

  • What Does It Mean To Be The Church?

    How we are to be salt and light in the world

    Brooks Atkinson, an American journalist, said, “I have no objection to churches, so long as they don’t interfere with God’s work”. Why are we here? What does it mean to be the church in Farnham in 2005? Our gospel reading has some ideas for us on what it might be all about, and our epistle ...read more

  • The Church At Ephesus Series

    What can we learn today from the Church at Ephesus, one of the seven churches in Revaltion2 -3 ?

    Many people are frightened by the book of Revelation, because it seems to be unintelligible. I hope that, if not tonight, by the end of this sermon series at Advent, you’ll see that not only is it reasonably easy, with some careful background reading (which I’ve done on your behalf), for ...read more

    6 powerful things found in the name above all names - Jesus Christ!

    “What’s in a Name?” (Acts 4:5-14) Well, what a privilege to again be in God’s house, in God’s pulpit, to share God’s message from God’s word with God’s people. It truly is a joy to be able to be with you this morning. The reason we’re here is to worship the true living God in spirit and in ...read more

    What are you anchored to when your world turns upside down in the storms of life?

    “Anchors During Adversity” (Romans 5:1-11) Weds. Night I’m glad you’re here tonight. You know, one of the things that has always been kind of a mystery to me is why more people don’t come to church on Wednesday night. I know that some people get home late and can’t come and I know that some ...read more

    God’s wonderful banquet is free for all.

    I wonder if you’ve ever bought a new car? Different things appeal to different people, don’t they. Some people are concerned with the technical details about the engine, others are keen to buy from a local dealer, others want to stick with a manufacturer they’ve bought from before, others are ...read more

  • The Churches At Smyrna And Pergamum

    What can we learn today from the churches at Smyrna and Pergamum, one of the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 ?

    Why would letters be written to these churches? Well, Smyrna was a very important centre of trade, with a valuable harbour, and big wine business. It was a very beautiful city, even outstanding. In all the civil wars, the people of Smyrna always chose the right side to be: it was politically ...read more

    God has equipped the believer with His armor to use in the spiritual battles we face every day.

    The Onward Christian Soldier (Ephesians 6:10-20) Well folks, it’s great to be back with you tonight. It’s a real joy to be with those who love the Lord Jesus and love each other.

    A sermon for Church Anniversary

    Jesus said, ‘every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure-store both the new and the old.’ This rather odd little verse is probably a kind of signature from the writer of the Gospel. It’s as though he was giving us a hint about ...read more
